Product questions
Before you decide
Straight answers to the questions shoppers most often ask about this product.
01Does this work if I've never played trumpet?
No. This is book 2. Start with book 1 of Essential Elements, which covers first notes and fundamentals.
02Is a CD included?
No. The audio is online, accessed through a connected device rather than a disc.
03Can my clarinet-playing friend use my book?
No. Each instrument gets its own book, written in that instrument's key and range. Buy the clarinet edition instead.
04How do I know it's the right edition for band class?
Match the ISBN 9780634012945 against what your director listed. Editions of the same title can differ.
